Here is Bloomsburg’s bio for Kelly Reimert.
Kelly Reimert ’84
Women’s Swimming
Few student-athletes in the history of Bloomsburg women’s swimming demonstrated the sustained excellence and relay dominance of Kelly Reimert, whose career from 1980 to 1984 helped define one of the program’s most successful eras.
A 1984 graduate of Bloomsburg University, Reimert emerged as a cornerstone of the Huskies’ relay success, earning eight All-American honors across three seasons. Her performances elevated Bloomsburg’s national presence and established her as one of the premier relay swimmers in program history.
Reimert was a two-time PSAC champion during the 1981-82 season, contributing to first-place finishes in the 200-yard freestyle relay and 800-yard freestyle relay. Across her career, she recorded 11 top-three finishes at the PSAC Championships, demonstrating remarkable consistency in championship competition.
On the national stage, she earned multiple All-American honors in AIAW Division III and NCAA Division II competition, including national titles in relay events. Her relay teams consistently finished among the nation’s best.
Upon graduation, Reimert held three Bloomsburg team records, with two still standing two years later. Her 200-yard medley relay record set in 1983 endured until 1996, a testament to her lasting impact on the program.
Despite a shoulder injury that limited her senior season, Reimert’s legacy as a multi-time All-American, conference champion, and record-holder remains firmly established. Her achievements helped elevate Bloomsburg women’s swimming and continue to inspire future generations of Huskies.
